Answer:
The correct answer is d. eukaryotes almost always produce polycistronic mRNA
Explanation:
mRNA can be polycistronic or monocistronic. A monocistronic mRNA contains the information of one gene only so a monocistronic mRNA code only one protein at a time but a polycistronic mRNA can code for multiple proteins at a time.
In eukaryotes, one transcriptional unit carries the information of only one protein so eukaryotes produce monocistronic mRNA but some eukaryotes are capable of having polycistronic mRNA.
In prokaryotes, many genes are transcribed as a unit to produce multiple proteins so prokaryotes produce polycistronic mRNA. Therefore the statement which is not true is d. eukaryotes almost always produce polycistronic mRNA.

See explanation below
Explanation:
<em>Non-disjunction occur as a result of lack of separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. </em>
As a result, the gametes (the daughter cells formed) produced end up having extra or lesser chromosomes as compared to a normal gamete.
When a gamete with extra chromosome fertilizes a normal gamete, the resulting offspring will have an extra chromosome (trisomy condition).
On the other hand, when a gamete with one less chromosome than normal fertilizes a normal gamete, the resulting offspring will have one less chromosome than normal offspring (monosomy condition).
Assuming a chromosome with Aa gene undergoes non disjunction during meiosis, the resulting gametes either contain both A and a chromosome or contain no chromosome at all.
If Aa gamete is fertilized by a normal haploid sperm (a), the resulting zygote will have the genotype Aaa.
If a gamete with no chromosome at all fertilizes a normal haploid sperm, the resulting offspring will have the genotype a.
MRNA transfers genetic information in the nucleus from the DNA to the cytoplasm because DNA never leaves the nucleus
The fluid-mosaic model describes the plasma membrane of
animal cells. The plasma membrane that surrounds these cells has two
layers (a bilayer) of phospholipids (fats with phosphorous
attached), which at body temperature are like vegetable oil (fluid).
And the structure of the plasma membrane supports the old saying, “Oil
and water don’t mix.”
Each phospholipid molecule has a head that is attracted to water (hydrophilic: hydro = water; philic = loving) and a tail that repels water (hydrophobic: hydro = water; phobic
= fearing). Both layers of the plasma membrane have the hydrophilic
heads pointing toward the outside; the hydrophobic tails form the inside
of the bilayer.
Because cells reside in a watery solution (extracellular
fluid), and they contain a watery solution inside of them (cytoplasm),
the plasma membrane forms a circle around each cell so that the
water-loving heads are in contact with the fluid, and the water-fearing
tails are protected on the inside.
